How The Song Should've Gone

I know your greedy little lines
Your lies
Your compromise

I heard the stories that you'd tell
That crime
You stole all our time!

And I listened to a friend
I thought
You'd bought him

Through your barricade of doors
I journied dead
To find the truth instead

This is how the song should've gone!
But it went all wrong
I gave out pennies from my eyes
But still you'd violate your prize

In the face of conspiracy
In a vision
Your gut bucket came to me

While the road you left to me
Began to glow
To show a way to free

I watched you all so closely
Don't put the blame on history
I played it back on you so nicely
As I was walking away

This is how the song should've gone!
But it went all wrong
I gave out pennies from my eyes
But still you'd violate your prize

But I lingered one last time
'Cause you waltzed right by
Go on follow him
Like a good little lacky
You try to look at me

I'm watching you from underground
You want to wave to me
Oh, it's oh so hard to turn around
But you don't want to be his enemy

This is how the song should've gone!
But it went all wrong
I gave out pennies from my eyes
But still you'd violate your prize
